Coldfire

Imp: Fruity and spicy and a dragon hiding in a cave

Wet On Me: oh the sweetness of the cherry and the spicy of

clove and myrrh

Drying Down: more of the clove now over the dragon’s blood.

Then the myrrh..the cherry fading.

Dry: mostly myrrh resin and sweetness. I love this!

Imp: Mostly lilac on top….then faint tuberose. No violet yet.

Wet on me: WOW POW! Intense Floral. Lilac heavy

Drying Down: man do I amp Lilac big time. It’s taken over everything else.

Dry: Total lilac air freshener on me. Re-home!

Imp: softened Dragon’s blood

Wet on Me: softened Dragon’s Blood and something

more That wants to come out.

Drying Down: The aquatics really help soften the

dragon’s blood.

Dry: powdery soft dragon’s blood. Keeping the imp..

don’t need a bottle

Imp: dark and sticky. Cannot pick out anything in

particular

Wet on Me: Stephanotis now and the Narcissus

Drying Down: Dark, Shadowy, Floral. Not getting any

cypress yet.

Dry: powdery floral now. I can take it or leave it.

I will probably re-home it.

Imp: ooooo the patchouli

Wet on me: lovely earthy patchouli

Drying Down: The Nag Champa comes out to

play with the patchoulis

Dry: Lovely Nag Champa and Patchouli. Earthy,

warm and intoxicating. The love! Keeping!

Imp: rose and jasmine

Wet on Me: rose, jasmine and carnation now.

Drying Down: The rose is overpowering everything.

I am not getting any of the bergamot or tangerine

Dry: the rose just smothered everything and sat on it.

Not a keeper. Re-homing the Imp

Imp: TREES! Yummy Pine and juniper and cypress

Wet on Me: I feel like I am standing in a forest and it is love!

Drying Down: Mostly pine and cypress now with a touch

of the black musk hiding in the shadows. Hard to work when

Wrist is becoming glued to nose.

Dry: Total dark forest-y love. Keeper! Must get bottle of this.

Imp: Sandalwood and Neroli with something eck underneath

Wet on Me: The sandalwood and neroli are gorgeous..but the

vetiver just makes it smell like rot over it. Like they went bad.

Drying Down: the vetiver seems like it’s fading to let the white

sandalwood and neroli shine a bit more.

Dry: The vetiver has calmed itself down now and I get the white

sandalwood and very little Neroli. This is okay. Thisisthe one

vetiver I found so far I like.

Imp: Man! Total spicy man with a tease of sweet under it

Wet on me: Love so far. I seem to wear men’s scents well

more spicy sweet…but not sugar sweet.

Drying Down: Spicy still…faintest touch of cinnamon..but

not enough to overwhelm it. Delightful still

Dry: Spicy love. My hand got a wee bit warm where I put

it on…must be the cinnamon. I like this..for a spicy one. Keeping the frimp.

Imp: amber…but has an older scent about it.

Wet on Me: more amber now…a touch fruity in the very far background

Drying Down: Spicy amber now. But not sharp…mellow and aged.

Dry: still a spicy mellow amber to me. I love this. Keeping the imp!

Imp: Cypress and something I can’t put my nose on.

Wet On Me: Cypress and patchouli

Drying Down: Cypress and ginger over the patchouli

Dry: Mostly the woodiness of the Cypress…the

patchouli haunting underneath and the ginger breathing a whisper

thru it all. Interesting….nice…..I think I’ll keep the imp.

Imp: dark and the dank of vetiver

Wet on Me: still dark and SHARP! Nothing but the

vetiver jumps out for easy id.

Drying Down: Thankfully the throw is not far on this one.

The vetiver seems to get some of it’s sharpness tempered by

The black musk

Dry: okay this is powder over the vetiver. Not really too

Remarkable for me. Off to the re-homing pile

Imp: Rum and coconut on first hit and something else

I can’t quite put my nose on

Wet On Me: run and coconut tanning oil. Smells like

the beach

Drying Down: more of the tonka and tobacco now with

the wine waaaay in the background to me. Not getting the leather yet.

Dry: Sweet rum over the tonka splashed with a dash of tobacco.

The leather never came out to play for me Probably not a keeper

Imp: gentle amber and musk

Wet on me: the musk and amber add a wee

touch of the wood to the mix

Drying Down: Musk and woods

Dry: Powdered woods. Woods with Powder on

them No dry grasses on me. Interesting. Not

bad…Not married to it. I may re-home this

Imp: Love. Sharp, ozone aquatic citrus and CLEAN!

Wet on Me: More of the same only MORE!

Drying Down: This just rocks my socks. Ozone-y sharp

citrus leaf aquatic-y.

Dry: It’s very strong at first application but then mellows

out with the same scent just not as WADDOW! This might be a bottle

down the line

Imp: Wow…Red wine FIRST and a whiff of the

dragon’s blood

Wet on Me: barest hints of the red rose, and so

far does not smell like spray red rose, still getting

touches of the red wine as well

Drying Down: Rose is mellowing and the dragon’s

blood begins to rise and mingles with the red wine

Dry: well rounded scent. Nothing overpowering now.

Rose, wine and dragon’s blood all equal and balanced.

This is nice but I don’t’ see myself wearing it a lot, so

I think I’ll rehome the imp.

Imp: Cinnamon over tea

Wet On Me: Very much cinnamon with the tea

lurking in the background

Drying Down: the tea is beginning to catch up

in the race with the cinnamon

Dry: It’s tea time…stirred with a cinnamon stick.

While in the background, someone has just opened

the tobacco pouch to pack a pipe. Really deep sniffs bring

traces of the nutmeg out. The cinnamon in this did warm a

spot on the back of my hand where I had applied it.

Interesting…I may keep this.

Imp: somewhat green with ghost of pepper

Wet on me: More woods now with the peony

and that pepper ghost whisper

Drying Down: woods and the good parts of

pepper now…lovely.

Dry: This is finding your grandmother’s favorite

shawl or throw and wrapping yourself in it. This is

wood, and a touch of the peony floral and a wee tad

of the pepper. Luckily the lily does NOT show up at

all here. Keeper for the memories it brings.

Imp: Patchouli with tiny notes of peach on first sniffle

Wet on Me: Warm and enveloping. The patchouli is softened

by the musk and peach this smells like golden would smell

Drying Down: Still smells what I think ‘golden’ would smell like.

The peach is playing hide and seek but I get glimpses of it.

Dry: The amber and musk shine the brightest now even over the

patchouli and the peach adds that tempering note from the shadows

it resides in. This is love. This is a keeper

Imp: Woah! Heavy Lilly

Wet on Me: Really heavy lilies. This may make me sneeze

Drying Down: Lilly Bug Spray.

Dry: Lilly scented bug spray. I now know what they scent

bug spray with….Lillies. This is sooo not for me. Lilly is the

one note/scent that just rubs me the wrong way. To the re-homing pile

Imp: Sharp…..Fire…Smoke…

Wet on Me: Pine? I smell a resin-y pine-y trace

in the fire and smoke.

Drying Down: Smokey pine. What it smells like after your

Campfire/bonfire burns out.

Dry: Still that post fire scent. Reminds me of fall evenings.

I like this. Different and quirky for me. A little dark and unexpected.

Keepin the imp. This is magickal!

Imp: Grass, Hay. Clean and nice

Wet on Me: Hay…lovely hay…

Drying Down: Complete and total fresh hay.

Dry: Still Hay! Hi hay! Not bad. Not unpleasant.

Will probably keep the imp but not get a bottle.

Imp: initial sniff…floral

Wet on Me: Lilac and orchid

Drying Down: Sandalwood is coming out of the

shadows a bit to play now.

Dry: Sandalwood and the rosewood and a wee

touch of the bergamot holding hands with the red musk

now. This is nice and pleasant. I think I’m keeping the imp

Imp: Patchouli with the slightest whisper of orange

Wet on Me: Orange patchlouli that reminds me of

furniture polish?

Drying Down: a deeper more complex patchouli

seems to emerge now.

Dry: Lovely earthy patchouli that feels warmed by

the whispers of orange now. This is amazing. Another new favorite I think.

Imp: Lavender and something sadder…the wisteria?

Wet on Me: mmmmm lavender.. lovely lavender.

I adore lavender

Drying Down: More lovely lavender over all with some

itty bitty white musk underneath.

Dry: Just lovely Lavender. Sad and haunting but yet not

depressing. Total keeper and must get a bottle of this!
